THE DUDE CONGRESSMAN.
What are sometimes called dude
Congressman grow more numerous
every year. The word dude" is a
decided misnomer as applied to them,
however, for they are simply we'll
dressed and unobtrusive men who
usual noisy characteristics of typical
Congressman. Such Congressman
as Merriman, Adams and Belmore
might be taken for quiet business
men, brokers, or, indeed, almost any
thing but politicians. In the matter
of attire they do not differ from WELL
dressed men of any of the large cities.
They are quite retiring in manner,
and-it perhaps follows from the
foregoing conditions-they are all Of
them exceedingly good Representa-
tives. I'd .a...L

| or in q crowded doorway, you are re.
ceived with . shower bath of ice
water, and nothing more. This air
of exciusiviness is spreading to their
shoulders, till New York girls stand
with their arms and elbows SO far
back and their chins so hiSh in the
air that the rest of the world stands
off and stares, but never dares APP
proach. | suppose they like it, how
ever, or they would not cling so
tenaciously to their curt manners.
The fact that every other woman in
America hates a New York girl is
the highest praise that could be be-
slowed upon her.
She raised, waved her hand in
sudden recognition across the gal
lery, and a stout, affable and exceed
ingly important looking gentleman
raised his hat in response, assumed
a heavy scowl, aud numbered i'm
pressively toward us. He is the
best illustration | could name of the
type that is commoner in Washing
ton than anywhere else. IL is the
heavy, impressive statesman who
knows it all, This particular per-
sonrge had large. sagacious nose, a
pair of beetling brows, aud an i'm
mense expause of fabby face. At
every other word he looked his
hearers deeply in the eye,
shook his finger confidently,
and gave his broad shoulders
a slight shrug. This pantomime was
particularly impressive after the
mention of the Presidents name,
and it conveyed the idea more for
chilly thu words could have done the
immense influence and power that
the rural statesman had with the
administration. | doubt, if any
thing could be more thoroughly
without foundation than the pre-
tensions OF most Of the back country
legislators to the confidence of the
administration. If ever there was a
person in Washington that does not
care a rap for the men in the two
houses it is Cleveland, and the
heavy weights who so solemnly claim
the confidence of the Executive con-
vince nobody but themselves.

why the soafh FAILED.

From the Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle,
February 18th: Gen. Longstreet will
to his dying day insist periodically
that Gen. Lee lost the battle OF Get
tysburg, and that he could have won
it. Lee was great enough, whether
deserved or not, to assume all the
blame, but 1t Is rather monotonous for
L7ngstreet to come along with every
almanac and claim all the honor.
Some people think he was really the
obstruction to victory. 1t is known
that Stuart did not, for some rees IN OF
other, keep the commandment CHIEF
aware of Meade's movements. II is q
fact that Lee lost the battle, bat the
muse OF history is not yet safe in accord
ing the victory to Longstreet, even on
paper and after the event. There ia
another thing that Gen. Lopgstreet
does not take into conslderation-the
supernatural. The mighty Frederick,
though q skeptic, declared that "grea'
battles were fought beyond the stars. y
1t was not written that the South
should succeed.

The Doodle legislator is pointed
cut to the visitor as the prime object
ofimportance in the capital. States
men are eminent and party workers
are popular. But the man who is
whispered about, pointed, beloved of
barkeepers, adored by hotel keepers,
nodded to by the hackmen and cred.
tied with an endless amount OF good
qualities is the Doodle legislator.
When Gould or Huntington or any
of the big railroad men come to town
the boodler is an object Of additional
interest, and half the people in
Washington figure on what this, that
or the other deal paid him.
The popular impression that
he is an object of contempt,
suspicion and distrust is, l am
afraid, very far from the truth. He
is invariably a good fellow" for
that is his stock in trade, but, more
than this, he has usually such a
knowledge of men and things that he
is the pleasantest sort OF companion.
Apparently, he is willing to talk
about corrupt measures in Congress,
but he never descends to the folly Of
defending himself, even BY insinua-
ton. His methods usually are to
throw a slightly derogatory shade
over the few, the very few, con,
spicuously pure men in the national
capital. BLAKELY HALL.

THE COMPOSITE WOMAN.
That these warning elements will
shortly involve a dashing and rep
resentative American woman is the
result to be looked for. Exactly how
long it will take before the evolu-
ton is accomplished is more or less
problematical, but the result will be
sure to come. 1t is a trial for almost
any woman to be trausplanted from
q rural Western village to what is
probably the most cosmopolitan of
American cities. She cannot make
the plunge all at once, and the de-
grees by which she advances from
rural cumbersomeness aud timidity
to the polish and dash of thorough
bred Washingtonian are apparent at
a glance. When she talked l was
reminded alternately of carly all the
States and countries L had ever Wis.
tied.
1.-THE swagger fad of the West, you
know" she said, has received per-
manent set back by the action of the
Illinois Legislature. They have
actually met and prohibited the falsi-
fcation of pedigrees. .Ofcourse, this
is an old thing with cattle, but they
apply it to the human race, and the
aspiring aristocrats of the West will
be obliged to 60 without the eclat of
a family tree, and that most chic of
all possessions, coat Of arms. 1t
seems to me that it is the most alb
surd thing in the world, because if
there is anything l like il is a big
golden crest with a stunning motto
under it. You can wager big gold
en- guinea, though, that the crests
will continue to exist in the West
despite the action of the Legislature"
She turned on her heel abruptly
and muttered something about a
mighty purity" girl who passed US,
"She is from New York" said the
Congressman's wife, decisively.
"HoW can you tell?"

II don't know; there is something

backs. think more than anything
else it is the air of hostility and ex-
clusiveness which she invariably
bears. Whenever l go to New York

gun club, a little picnic, a drive or
an evening Of music-even in a

meet women who will regard you
with most abject and unquestieDed

introduced they are as pheasant and
amiable as can be, but if you at
